Creating was never easier on campus than it was in 2002-
2003. In the basement of the University Center, students,
faculty, and staff found a new opportunity to order, design,
and use a number of services. These services included
personalized t-shirt orders, balloon bouquets, personalized
buttons, dry mounting and laminating, banners, passport
pictures, graphic services, and faxing services. This new
addition to the university simplified the lives of students
and student organizations. "Our goal is to reach the student
community and to offer a variety of services in-house so that
the students don't have to leave the campus to fulfill their
orders," Creation Station Coordinator Alicia Garcia-Valero said.
In previous years, this area within the University Center was
known as the Art Stop. This was a facility for students, faculty,
and staff that offered custom picture framing and noncredit
art classes. These art classes were taught by University of
Houston graduates and included ceramics, photography,
jewelry-making, and stained glass. Unfortunately, in June of
2001, the Art Stop facility was destroyed due to Tropical
Storm Allison. So from
June 2001 to February
The Creation Station,
once known as the
Art Stop, provides a
convenient way for
students to show
their artistic talents
2002, the remodeling and
transition took place that
turned the Art Stop into
the Creation Station.
